Maura graduates from SHSU on Saturday. Although she is pretty sick right now, as of today she plans to participate in the ceremony and walk across that stage. She has earned it!
Afterward, there will be a celebration at our house, and, at Maura's request, a moonwalk. So, all of her friends and all of our friends and relatives, please stop by early Saturday afternoon to congratulate Maura! Come dressed in bouncing clothes! Those of you with kids, bring them.
About Me
- Erin
- This is a picture of my daughter, Maura. She died from metastatic high-grade unclassified sarcoma* on May 19, 2009 at the age of 22. For one year I wrote about her journey with cancer. I don't know if I'll keep writing now or if I'm done. We'll just take it a day at a time. *Sarcoma is a little-known, under-researched, under-funded cancer. To contribute directly to research please consider giving a gift directly to: MD Anderson Cancer Center- Donations, PO Box 4486, Houston TX 77210-4486 ****(Please write "In memory of Maura de Souza " in the memo portion of the check to make sure it goes directly for sarcoma research.)
